Compare the effects of the World War II on areas outside of Europe

Non-European Countries During World War 2

Though World War II had major wreckage, and destroyed everything in plain sight, the biggest concern, however, was the similar effects World War II had on places outside of Europe.

Africa

• Mussolini's invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 stirred up conflict in Africa.
• Half a million Africans fought for the French.
• Production in Africa was of great importance because of the halt in industry in Asia.
• With European influence, the price of living went up in Africa making it harder for the African working class.
